grub>initrd /initrd This comes up with an error, "Error 28: Selected item cannot fit into memory" which is a bit strange as I have 1.5GB of RAM and even right at the moment I have 58.5MB free.

Check that file, perhaps it is broken somehow. Usually, "/boot/initrd" is a symlink, so check the link and the destination. Also, you can try to expand it on a temporary dir, it is gzipped.
Well, if it[1] was broken then I wouldn't be able to boot into the installed system from the Installation CD/DVD, and if it couldn't fit into memory then, again, it wouldn't fit when booting from the Installation CD. Something very weird going on here and I cannot figure it out. I used the Repair System from the Installation CD and when the automatic repair did nothing to fix the problem I used the Expert Mode and tried to Repair the Boot Loader. The interesting -- if you call this error message "interesting"! -- thing here is I got the following error message: grub> setup --stage2=/boot/grub/stage2 (hd0,8) (hd0,8) Error 21 Selected disk does not exist but, of course, the disc does exist. Grub is reading something from somewhere which has been corrupted but the Installation CD is not reading the same info and therefore boots into the existing system correctly. But what is grub reading and, more importantly, how to fix this is the 64,000 dollar question :-) (which I cannot answer :-( ). ([1] BTW, where is this gzipped copy located" I couldn't find it :-( .)
